It's Cold

Ok I know I'm not in sunny California anymore but it is technically still summer so why is it so cold? I am the kind of person that loves winter. What isn't there to like about it. You can cudle up in a blanket and drink some hot cocoa or hot chocolate and you are warm. Yet 30-40 degree weather is ungodly. So when I go to work it is freezing cold outside. Even the mid-afternoons are cold. Apparently this isn't normal for Hailey either. They must be having a cold summer. Aren't we the lucky ones. It gets so cold in the mornings and nights. I am glad we have our pets to keep us warm. They cudle up to us at night and day. My poor little cats noses are so cold. Cleo just wants to be underneath the covers. Tigger is still Tigger. She just wants to be outside. I let her go sometimes, well it's more like she manages to escape to the back yard when someone opens the door. Yesterday I completely forgot she was out there so when I finally remembered I went looking for her and her body was cold. I don't think she will be this brave in the winter.

Then there is our adopted son Jackson. Don't tell my sister we call him that. He is my sister's dog. We have managed to spoil him just like our other pets. He is always on our bed. He is polite though because he waits by the side of the bed and looks at us to let him on. Don't know how he will manage once we leave my sister's house.

I can't believe how cold it is here. I can't imagine what real winter weather will be like. I have visited my mom in the winter so I know it gets pretty cold. But I didn't have to wake up in the morning to go to work. Right now its pretty cold but I have managed. When the snow comes I know I will be all bundled up.

I am still anxious for it to snow. My family says that it starts to snow around the end October. I think it will start sooner. Me and Charlie still say we will try to learn to Snowboard when it snows. I hope this doesn't end up being one of our attempts to try something and then we quit because it is too cold like our morning runs.

Missing California

So I haven't blogged for a while. Sometimes I feel like blogging but then the feeling goes away because I will spend some time on the computer and I decide not to blog but then I end up doing other things on line and I forget to blog. So anyways, in other words I know I haven't posted in a long time. I am gettiing almost as bad as Charlie but I will try to be more consistent. No promises though.

So I miss my old home. Hailey is a beautiful city. Very calm and relaxing. It is good to be with my family but I still miss my old life. This is kind of like when I went to UCI. I missed my friends and family and the people of LA. Didn't like the people in Irvine that much but then I got accustomed to it. I know it will take me time to get familiar with the new place. I still miss having the stores open till 10pm. Having a plethora of restaurants to choose from even though we mostly went to our favorites. Here we don't have much to choose from and most of them close by 9, the latest 10 and that is only a couple of restaurants. If I need something I gotta drive to Twin Falls which is 1 hr away. So we gotta make a weekend trip out of it. Oh well I well learn to adjust. I am one to make myself adjust. Atleast this way I don't waste a lot of money and gas lasts longer which is good considering the gas prices.

I still miss going to the gym and the hustle and bustle of LA. Weird to miss something as stressful as that but I do. It certainly does seem like I have a lot more time here but I don't feel like I do much for the whole day. I wake up go to work and come back later than I would over there but I still feel like I have a lot of time. It's funny because it made me remember that I was talking to Reb one day and we were telling each other how we had done so much the previous day after work. Then she said, I think, how funny that we say that we feel that we have done something if we are running around but if we relax then we say we didn't do anything. It's true. A person does do a lot in a day but if you're not running around like crazy then you think you haven't done anything. It shouldn't be that way but it is.

I really do miss her. I miss our walks that we would take and our talks. Though she did most of the talking. I also miss having lunch with her. There are other teachers that I can hang out with but it takes me time to get to be comfortable with someone. She is great.

I also miss my friends. Although we didn't go out as much we did on occassion. I still miss being able to go see movies with fadedgirl that Charlie didn't want to see. We'll I guess we'll see how things go.
